Trust Me On The sunscreen...

Don’t be reckless with other people’s hearts, don’t put up with
people who are reckless with yours.

Don’t waste your time on jealousy; sometimes you’re ahead, sometimes
you’re behind…the race is long, and in the end, it’s only with yourself.

Remember the compliments you receive, forget the insults; if you
succeed in doing this, tell me how.

Keep your old love letters, throw away your old bank statements.

Maybe you’ll marry, maybe you won’t, maybe you’ll have children, maybe you won’t, maybe you’ll divorce at 40, maybe you’ll dance the funky
chicken on your 75th wedding anniversary…what ever you do, don’t
congratulate yourself too much or berate yourself either – your
choices are half chance, so are everybody else’s.

Read the directions, even if you don’t follow them.

Get to know your parents, you never know when they’ll be gone for
good.

Be nice to your siblings; they are the best link to your past and the
people most likely to stick with you in the future.

Understand that friends come and go, but for the precious few you
should hold on.

Don’t expect anyone else to support you. Maybe you have a trust fund,
maybe you have a wealthy spouse; but you never know when either one
might run out.

Don’t mess too much with your hair, or by the time you're 40, it will
look 85.

But trust me on the sunscreen…

To Risk

"To laugh is to risk appearing the fool. To weep is to risk appearing sentimental. To reach for another is to risk involvement. To expose your ideas, your dreams before a crowd is to risk their loss.

I'm out of my own creations tonight... So hope Baz Lurhmann can give me inspiration - listen to his song the words are awesome my favourite line.... Don't congratulate yourself too much or berate yourself either - your choices are half chance - so are everybody else's.... Awesome line!!!

The maiden in the tower with some lovely deep thoughts !

@Rapunzel brilliant! Do love that song 👏😘

@gazplend the lyrics are sensational... 'Remember compliments you've received and forget the insults' it's a song that keeps on giving! Thank you for your comments 😋

One of my favourites also. But did you know it was adapted from an article written by Mary Schmich, an American journalist?! Makes it all the more fascinating I think 😌❤

I didn't know that @fly10 I've just googled her - that's amazing - still reading it time with the tube in my head!! Brilliant thanks x

I didn't know that @fly10 I just googled her and I'm amazed your right adds to the song in so many ways! Thank you do much x
